Chapter 0346 Are there any survivors in the canyon abyss?
Except for Du Yifeng, who watched the excitement with a cold eye, everyone else felt inexplicably heavy.
Xu Chunru was very close to Yu Siyuan, so naturally she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Yu Siyuan has become like this after a long time. Who knows whether he will be next?
This place is getting weirder and weirder.
A flower, a tree, a blade of grass, a leaf, or even a drop of water may seem normal at first glance, but they can always create a little surprise, or to be precise, a shock.
Xu Chunru followed Yu Siyuan with a worried look on her face. Jiang Yue didn't let her disturb Yu Siyuan, and she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only follow behind, so that if anything happened, she could help him at any time.
Moving forward fulfilled Du Yifeng's wish, and he would naturally not object. Unlike others, his multifunctional engineer shovel was shattered by a cane before, and he only had a self-prepared short knife in his hand.
However, he is much better behaved now. He has a short sword in his hand, but he is not bad at it.
Instead, he walked up to Jiang Yue without leaving a trace and chatted with each other.
He knew very well that being closer to Jiang Yue meant higher safety.
"etc."
A few people were walking when Jiang Yue suddenly stopped and whispered.
Except for Yu Siyuan who turned a deaf ear, everyone else stopped and looked at Jiang Yue in astonishment.
Jiang Yue stared at the dense forest ahead with complex eyes, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After crossing the stream and going up the slope, everyone clearly discovered that the plants here were much thicker. Even a random grass was knee-high; a flower was as big as a washbasin; and those trees were as tall as a basin.
Not to mention, every one of them can be called a towering tree. If placed in the sunshine era, any one of them can be called a thousand-year-old tree.
In comparison, they looked extremely small, just like a few normal humans who suddenly broke into the world of giants.
Everything in my eyes seems to have been magnified several times compared to the sunshine era.
“Jiang Yue, why did you stop?” Xu Chunru walked over quickly and asked anxiously.
They stopped, but Yu Siyuan did not stop. He walked forward without hesitation, with no intention of stopping at all.
And Jiang Yue refused to stop her, so why should she just be allowed to perish?
“Didn’t you hear?”
Jiang Yue asked in a deep voice.
What did you hear? Everyone else looked confused. After listening for a while, everything was quiet, not even the sound of falling leaves.
The sound in this place seemed to be completely blocked. It was eerily quiet.
“Someone is calling for help!”
A few people listened carefully again, but still didn't hear anything.
"Have it?"
Jiang Yue sighed, knowing that they probably didn't hear him.
“Take a few more steps forward.”
As you go deeper, the sight you see becomes more majestic. The tall trees are thicker and thicker than the last. The trees of various shapes make people almost wonder if they have entered a prehistoric civilization?
Perhaps only in the prehistoric era, when there was a lack of human activity and barbaric growth, would it be possible for such thick and exaggerated trees to grow?
“No wonder this place is called the Ecological Park. The ecosystem here is really different. Such big trees are not found in many virgin forests, right?”
"This is definitely not the original ecological park." Jiang Yue shook his head, "There must be some mutation that we don't know about in this place."
“Look!”
Through an area of tall trees, an astonishingly deep ditch suddenly appeared in front of us.
To say a deep ravine is probably an understatement. This is clearly a bottomless canyon. A dense mist rises from the bottom of the canyon, making it impossible to see the depth of the canyon.
Yu Siyuan was standing on the edge of the canyon, just one step away from the canyon.
Thank God, she finally stopped and did not plunge into the canyon.
It's just that there is exposed rock under her feet, and she doesn't know whether it is stable or not. If she is not careful, she may fall down.
Xu Chunru is in a dilemma.
I wanted to call her out loud, but I was not afraid of disturbing Yu Siyuan, causing her to lose her footing and fall down the canyon.
But if she didn't remind her, she would be worried that Yu Siyuan would fall if he didn't pay attention.
“Did you hear it this time?” Jiang Yue asked.
Faintly, there seemed to be calls for help coming from the depths of the canyon. They were intermittent and weak, and could hardly penetrate the thick fog.
Due to the close distance, although the voice was weak, several people could hear it clearly.
“Help...help...life! Is there anyone up there?”
The people below the canyon seemed to have heard the movement above, and their calls for help became more powerful.
Xu Chunru pretended to be inadvertent and walked up to Yu Siyuan.
Gently put his arm around Yu Siyuan's shoulders and pulled her back a few steps.
Yu Siyuan's body suddenly twitched, and she fell limply into Xu Chunru's arms.
After a moment, she opened her eyes blankly and saw Xu Chunru hugging herself and struggling to stand up: "Sister Ru, where is this place? What's wrong with me?"
“You don’t know anything?” Xu Chunru was surprised.
"I..." Yu Siyuan rubbed his forehead with difficulty and tried to remember, "I seem to remember that you advised me to jump to the stream. Are we at the other end of the stream now?"
Sure enough, Yu Siyuan's memory only stayed at that moment.
Doesn’t that mean that her abnormal actions just now were indeed beyond the control of her own brain?
“Siyuan, think about it again, do you really not remember how you got here?”
Yu Siyuan thought seriously for a while, then shook his head dejectedly: "I can't remember it at all. Have we not walked out of the jungle yet?"
“Actually... you brought us here.” Xu Chunru said quietly.
Yu Siyuan was shocked and was about to ask when he suddenly heard a cry for help.
“Is someone asking for help?”
Xu Chunru did not answer, but looked at Jiang Yue.
“Listen to the sound, it should be twenty or thirty meters away from us.” Jiang Yue listened carefully for a while and gave a rough guess.
Du Yifeng said excitedly: "It must be the person who disappeared last time. We can't just die without saving him, right?"
These words came out of Du Yifeng's mouth, and it sounded a bit strange no matter how you heard them.
From this tone, it sounds like you, Du Yifeng, are a hero who helps people in need.
Who doesn’t know that you, Du Yifeng, are the most likely person among this group of people to refuse to save you?
If it weren't for the mission, Du Yifeng would be so active, he must have seen a ghost.
Seeing that everyone's reaction was not particularly positive and even a little indifferent, Du Yifeng became a little anxious.
"Why are you all like this? Human life is at stake! Do we know that there are people down there, but we just watch them waiting to die? Do you still have any conscience? If you are so indifferent, won't your conscience hurt? If they are your relatives, Would you be so indifferent?"
The reaction from several people was still mediocre, and several people even deliberately avoided Du Yifeng's eyes, with some faint smiles hanging on the corners of their mouths, and they didn't know what they meant.
Jiang Yue didn't ignore him on purpose, but was looking around for something. He didn't know whether he had found some clues or found something of interest.
Du Yifeng is still continuing his performance.
"If we don't save them, the people below will definitely be dead. Just imagine, how long has it been since that day? It's not easy to survive until now. We may be their only hope... From another perspective Think about it, if it were us down there, wouldn’t we really want someone to help us?”
Xu Chunru suddenly said: "Du Yifeng, you don't need to convince us. If you want to save people, we can't object."
“Yes, it is a virtue to act bravely when one sees what is right. We will definitely support you 100%,” Han Jingjing also said.
Du Yifeng originally looked very emotional, but his tone sounded as if anyone who disagreed with going to save people was committing a crime.
Ke Xu Chunru and Han Jingjing’s words seemed to come to a sudden halt, leaving Du Yifeng speechless and not knowing how to respond for a moment.
What does this say?
I said I wanted to save people, but I didn’t say I was going to save them.
Xu Chunru obviously saw through Du Yifeng's thoughts and said in surprise: "Human life is at stake, why are we still hesitating? Yifeng, it's not too late, you are their only hope."
"Yes, think about it, why did you get this task? What does it mean? It means that you have a life-saving relationship with them. This great benefactor must be you, and it can only be you. Who else could it be than you? Who else? Dare to rob you? That's immoral!" Han Jingjing emphasized firmly.
The two girls have a clear understanding of each other, and this is obviously a deliberate attempt to squeeze out Du Yifeng, so that he will not try to be righteous, but when it comes to actually doing his best, he will pass the responsibility to others.
Du Yifeng was embarrassed.
He understood that he had described the scene too grandly and his acting skills were a bit exaggerated. He had spoken too much and there was no turning back.
Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Yue came over and took out the rope from his backpack.
“Everyone, please take out the ropes.”
This is the item in the official backpack, everyone has it. The rope is made of a special material. The ten-meter rope is not heavy in the hand, but it is surprisingly strong.
It will not be a problem to carry two to three hundred kilograms.
Five people, there are five bundles of rope.
When tied together, they are forty or fifty meters in length.
Jiang Yue found a branch of a huge tree at the edge. The branch was as thick as an adult's thigh and could easily bear a thousand pounds.
After tying the rope, Jiang Yue slowly lowered the rope into the canyon.
“Yifeng, I’ll leave the matter of selling my voice to you.”
Du Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not allowed to go down in person, it would be easy to say.
At the moment lying on the edge: "Is there anyone down there?"
"Yes, yes! Help, help! Did the government send you here? Why did it take so long to come?" The tone of the person below was still a little sad, but more of a surprise.
"How many people do you have?"
“I’m the only one left.”
It doesn’t matter how many of you there are, as long as there are survivors. To Du Yifeng, there is no difference between having one survivor and six survivors.
If we can really rescue a person alive, this mission will be absolutely perfect and we will definitely receive the highest level of evaluation.
It’s not that I didn’t try my best, but that others didn’t survive at all. This can’t be blamed on the task executor, right?
Du Yifeng shook the rope: "Attention, we are hanging the rope now. You should grab the rope and tie yourself well and firmly, and then we will pull you up."
“No, I’m injured and have several broken ribs. Can you send someone down to help me?”
Du Yifeng said: "The ribs are broken, but the hand is not broken."
The man begged: "Please, good man, please do it to the end and come down and help me. I have been hungry for so many days. I am very weak and have no strength at all. I'm afraid that I won't be able to be tied firmly and I will fall down."
Du Yifeng couldn't help but look back.
The three girls looked at him expectantly, seeming to encourage him to be this lone hero and ready to applaud him at any time.
Jiang Yue stood with his hands behind his back and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
Although Du Yifeng's eyes contained a vague need for help, Jiang Yue didn't seem to notice it.
How could Jiang Yue not know Du Yifeng’s little thoughts?
Earlier, when Du Yifeng kept saying that he could not save his life without saving his life, and kept talking about being nice and cheerful, Jiang Yue knew what this guy was planning.
There is a high probability that he is counting on Jiang Yue to take the initiative.
Because Jiang Yue has always been willing to help others, Du Yifeng obviously wants to take advantage of this. It's just talk anyway, so why not do it?
Who would have known that Jiang Yue would not follow his tricks at all? This was undoubtedly a blow to the head, catching Du Yifeng off guard.
“Yifeng, you can’t do it, right? This is your mission, it’s the time to show your bodhisattva heart. You won’t just be happy, right?”
Du Yifeng rolled his eyes and made a shut-up gesture.
Peering my head into the depths of the canyon, I suddenly felt dizzy.
Under that fog, I don’t know the depth at all, as if it is an abyss without a bottom, and I don’t know how many crises are lurking, and how many unknown fears are lurking.
It is impossible to go down!
The rope has been lowered to a height of twenty or thirty meters.
“Hey, have you seen the rope?”
“I saw it, I saw it! Hey, I can’t reach it, it’s almost, it’s just a little bit...”
The people below were grunting, looking like they were struggling, speaking intermittently, and sounded like they were out of breath and might die at any time.
Du Yifeng always felt that the other party did it on purpose.
"I'll give you three more chances. If you can't reach it, just take root and sprout below." Du Yifeng said harshly.
This guy can survive down there till now and still not die after so many days. His desire to survive must be extremely strong, so strong that it can reach the sky.
With such a strong desire to survive, it is impossible not to seize the opportunity at this last moment.
Want someone from me to take the risk to save you? Give up this idea as soon as possible.
Du Yifeng lowered the rope several meters further and shouted: "I swung it in your direction three times, but you didn't catch it three times. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
Twenty or thirty meters away, the man probably smelled the stony-hearted smell on Du Yifeng's body, and knew that it was useless to talk more, and it was impossible to get the other person to come down and save him.
"one!"
Du Yifeng swung the rope up.
Before he shook it a second time, the people below shouted in surprise: "I caught the rope!"
“Tie it up!” Du Yifeng cursed secretly and shouted angrily.
The rope above is shaking, which means the bottom is working hard to tie the rope to the body.
Several minutes passed before the man struggled to say, "It's tied up. Be gentle and pull me up slowly."
